About the Artist

Andrey Kiyanitsa (pronounced "Awe-N-Dray Kee-Yawn-Eet-Sa") spent most of his adult life working as an electrician, bringing light to homes in the most literal sense. About five years ago, he decided to channel his inner artist, quietly dabbling in oil painting whenever he could steal a moment. His meticulous attention to detail, honed through years of precise work, found a new outlet in his art, infusing his paintings with a unique energy and creativity. Guided by online tutorials and classes from artists like Yuri Klapouh, Andrey developed his own style and refined his skills. His talent remained a well-kept secret until one of his daughters shared a video montage of his work online, and suddenly, Andrey became the "master of light" according to the internet, and his painting skills became "viral," as the kids say. Comments flooded in, praising his breathtaking landscapes and intricate play of shadow and light, with many asking where they could buy his art—hence your arrival at this very website!

In his work, you’ll find a blend of realism and impressionism, reflecting Andrey’s passion for pushing his creative boundaries. His landscapes, rich with detail and thoughtful lighting, invite viewers to feel a deep sense of peace and belonging. Though he’s only been painting for a few short years, Andrey’s journey is a testament that it’s never too late to discover a new passion and illuminate the world in a whole new way.
